Round One
1. Ted Ginn Jr. - I'm sticking to my guns on the future replacement and special teamer in Ginn.
2. Dwayne Jarrett - If he is still around I'll be screaming for him. I don't know what this does for our future...but he is our clearcut future number one..and should atleast overtake Crayton as the #3 guy his first year.
3. Sidney Rice - Future number 1 guy...could be our #3 guy for now.
4a. Darrelle Revis - A Big East guy who has played good and has upside. Probably gone but Eric Wright could cause him to fall depending on workouts.
4b. Daymeion Hughes - Stud who has been dominate and shown up when his team needed it. Might be a slight reach...but if top 5 are gone its a great pick.
6. Tank Tyler - Stud to be a future replacement...just a solid pick addressing a need.

Round Two
1. Josh Wilson - Special teams early on...Glenns clone and replacement at corner.
2. Craig Davis - A speedy guy that we need for our future WR corps.
3. Lamarr Woodley - A true pass rusher off the edge...solid value at the bottom of the second round.
4. Eric Weddle - This guy screams Parcells...only other first day S I like outside of Landry.

Round Three
1. Manuel Ramirez - Get our mauler of the future.
2. Ryan Kalil - I love this guy...I think he's a big part of why USC's OL has been so good...solid leadership guy.
3. Edge Rusher

Round Four
1. Sabby Piscatelli - Best second day safety in the draft.
2. Kyle Young - Huge...has potential just needs to be pushed.

Rest of Second Day
QB to Groom...Kolb is around in the 5th I want him
NT maybe get lucky
Kicker is a possibility
Another OT I suppose

Random thought...if we get offered a mid second for JJ and guys like Bush or Leonard are available I won't be surprised to see a move.

Our Rams sources believe there's less than a 50-50 chance that former first-round pick Jimmy Kennedy will stick with the team next season after failing to cut the mustard this season as the team's starting nose tackle. Kennedy's current contract with the Rams runs out at the end of the '07 season, which would cut down the amount of cap revenue the team would stand to lose should it decide to release him.

what do you guys think about going after kennedy?

I asked this same question a few days back. This kid is from my hometown. He has one year left on his contract.

You got that from Hub Arkush's pub. Should credit it.[/quot

got it off espn insider. doesnt say who wrote it. doesnt matter anyway, not looking for praise or atta boys. just asking a question.

Sourcing is always a good thing. Yes, Pro Football Weekly. Not a bad off season rag.

i like your picks. ginn will probably be gone. i like jarrett or hughs in the first. love woodly in the 2nd. love ramirez in the 3rd and have been touting piscatelli for a while now. would be a great draft.

1. Justin Blalock, Texas OG - Obvious choice here, the nasty mauler that we all want at the the Guard position, you can't but think of Larry Allen when it comes to strength and ability in the run game. Our running game could go through the roof with this pick,

2. Craig Davis, LSU WR - With or without TO, we need young talent and depth at WR. We can talk about the potential of Austin and Hurd all we want, but we haven't seen anything on the field that can assure us they are answers. I remember when people were goo-goo-gaga over Randal Williams because of his physique and potential. But I really do believe Craig Davis has #1 potential. Big play guy, who actually blocks on running plays.

3. Manual Ramirez, Texas Tech OG - I know, I know. Two OG in 3 rounds? The play of Rivera has been horrid, and Kosier has been decent, but not great. Manny, Blalock and Gurode can make our interior line dominating for the future. I'm a big believe of winning in the trenches, and we haven't had that since the golden years of the 90's. Something that really makes me like Manny even more is that he is the locker room leader and team captain on the Red Raiders. So he is a leader, and hopefully he can do the same for our offense

I have no problem with drafting OG's...draft 2 on the first day automatically takes Proctor off this team...which I don't really agree with. But hey if we don't touch OG in FA...then OG is by far our biggest need. Don't get me wrong Blalock is my second favorite prospect in this draft behind Ginn.

So throwing away a "proven" young back-up for an un-proven one in the draft? Not a little drastic?

Not only do I not agree with it but I definately do not see BP doing this.

Not a Ginn fan but hey he solves a speed deficit problem we have. Just think he is a bit fragile.

He is more durable then Glenn...although its not great...he really doesn't have a history of injuries.

The Cowboys worked out cornerback Joey Thomas, a third-round pick by Green Bay in 2004, and kicker Kurt Smith, a sixth-round pick by San Diego. Smith is seen as a kickoff specialist. Former Arkansas defensive end Jeb Huckeba underwent a physical Tuesday. He worked out for the Cowboys last month.

Jerry Jones said on KTCK this morning that he intended to keep both Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn on the roster in 2007. Morning drive hosts Junior Miller and George Dunham asked Jones multiple times about the receivers and, when they reminded Jones about the roster bonuses due both players, he became agitated. "Now stop this crap," Jones said. "I've said 'yes' and I don't know how much more clear I can be. Do you think I know the consequences...that I know what their salaries are?"

When Miller responded that they were simply trying to get the owner's thoughts "for the record," Jones said, "I've already gone on the record. If you'd done your homework, you'd see that I talked about this after the game."

Asked about Bill Parcells, Jones said he paid no attention to the rumors that Parcells reached out the New York Giants about their open general manager's job. He said that with a high profile coach like Parcells, rumors were constant. He gave no indication that Parcells is any closer to a decision about returning to coach the Cowboys in 2007. Jones continued to express disappointment with the Cowboys' performance in 2006, citing once again his expectations for the defense.

from cowboysplus.

I was actually a big fan of Joey Thomas when he came out. He has great size, and good speed. But still, I really wouldn't expect much from him.

Ya know, I want to just take a minute here to stand up and give some props to Jerry. You can say a lot of things about him, but one thing you can always count on is that he is in touch with what we, the fans, think and feel, and he is 100% dedicated to putting a product out on the field that we will be happy with. You can simply rest assured that he will give everything he's got to make this thing work. Not many owners out there that you can say that about.

As for his interview, I think probably the most telling thing he said was in regard to Roy Williams. He said something to the effect that "Every year at this time we say this, but we have got to get him up closer where he can make some plays. We say that every year, but it's time that we make it happen."

I don't know that there is anything more he could have said to proclaim that we are going to be looking into getting a top flight FS with range and cover skills. To me, that means Reggie Nelson. That is the only guy that I really believe can make a difference right away in the draft. Outside of him, you have to look at vets like Sharper or maybe even Hamlin. Any way you slice it, you get the feeling they are ready to do whatever necessary to bring in a guy that can really get the job done back there.
